The head of the fire support organization sector of the operational directorate of the State Border Guard Service’s Border Protection Department, Yevhen Voytenko, was exposed for significant violations in his declaration related to cryptocurrency.
The editorial staff of 368.media learned about this from the materials of the full NACP audit for 2024 year.
The declaration was submitted on 19 March 2025. The audit was conducted from 15 December 2025 to 1 June 2026, and its term was extended due to untimely responses to requests.
As a result of the audit, it was established that the declarant indicated false information totaling 4,86 million hryvnias. This contains signs of part 1 of article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The largest portion of the discrepancies concerns cryptocurrency. Voytenko declared 1,25 bitcoin on the MEXC exchange valued at 4,75 million hryvnias as of 15 December 2024. The NACP did not confirm this information.
The official’s explanations were contradictory: in the declaration the asset is indicated as being stored on an exchange, while in his explanations he referred to the loss of a Tangem Wallet hardware wallet along with the private keys. According to the exchange and the SBI materials, the corresponding assets were not on the MEXC account. No confirmations of expenses to purchase the bitcoins on the specified date were provided either.
Crypto assets on Binance were also not reported: 411,23 USDT (17 thousand hryvnias), small balances of EthereumPoW, Bitcoin, First Digital USD, Ethereum Classic, Ethereum and Polygon totaling 17 thousand hryvnias. Regarding Litecoin the official indicated 13,56 coins valued at 67 541 hryvnia with an acquisition date of 11 March 2023. According to the exchange, the asset was acquired on 9 December 2024, the actual quantity was 7,64 coins. The difference is 25,7 thousand hryvnias. The Bonk cryptocurrency of his wife was also not declared (3 thousand coins, 3,86 hryvnias).
In the real estate section Voytenko listed an apartment in Kyiv that he rents, but did not indicate his wife’s and children’s right to use it, even though they actually lived there during the reporting period.
Regarding the Renault Megane (2013) he declared a value of 220 thousand hryvnias, whereas the vehicle registry shows 10 thousand hryvnias on the date the right was acquired. The explanation about purchasing it for 8,8 thousand dollars was taken into account by the agency, since the amount correlates with market prices, and the difference was not included in the total sum of false information.
In the income section social payments to his wife totaling 28 thousand hryvnias were not reflected. The National Agency did not establish whether the official was aware of these payments, so it classified them as inaccurate information.
In cash assets, funds in PrivatBank were indicated as a single sum of 185,6 thousand hryvnias instead of separately 66,8 thousand hryvnias and 4,4 thousand dollars. The National Agency did not find signs of illegal enrichment or unjustified assets. The accuracy of the valuation of other declared assets corresponds to the available sources.
